The BUGS Book A Practical Introduction to Bayesian Analysis

The BUGS Book A Practical Introduction to Bayesian Analysis

Bayesian statistical methods have become widely used for data analysis and modelling in recent years and the BUGS software has become the most popular software for Bayesian analysis worldwide. Authored by the team that originally developed this software The BUGS Book provides a practical introduction to this program and its use. The text presents complete coverage of all the functionalities of BUGS including prediction missing data model criticism and prior sensitivity. It also features a large number of worked examples and a wide range of applications from various disciplines. The book introduces regression models techniques for criticism and comparison and a wide range of modelling issues before going into the vital area of hierarchical models one of the most common applications of Bayesian methods. It deals with essentials of modelling without getting bogged down in complexity. The book emphasises model criticism model comparison sensitivity analysis to alternative priors and thoughtful choice of prior distributions all those aspects of the art of modelling that are easily overlooked in more theoretical expositions. More pragmatic than ideological the authors systematically work through the large range of tricks that reveal the real power of the BUGS software for example dealing with missing data censoring grouped data prediction ranking parameter constraints and so on. Many of the examples are biostatistical but they do not require domain knowledge and are generalisable to a wide range of other application areas. Full code and data for examples exercises and some solutions can be found on the book‘s website. | The BUGS Book A Practical Introduction to Bayesian Analysis

Foundations of Quantitative Finance Book I: Measure Spaces and Measurable Functions

Foundations of Quantitative Finance Book I: Measure Spaces and Measurable Functions

This is the first in a set of 10 books written for professionals in quantitative finance. These books fill the gap between informal mathematical developments found in introductory materials and more advanced treatments that summarize without formally developing the important foundational results professionals need. Book I in the Foundations in Quantitative Finance Series develops topics in measure spaces and measurable functions and lays the foundation for subsequent volumes. Lebesgue and then Borel measure theory are developed on ℝ motivating the general extension theory of measure spaces that follows. This general theory is applied to finite product measure spaces Borel measures on ℝn and infinite dimensional product probability spaces. The overriding goal of these books is a complete and detailed development of the many mathematical theories and results one finds in popular resources in finance and quantitative finance. Each book is dedicated to a specific area of mathematics or probability theory with applications to finance that are relevant to the needs of professionals. Practitioners academic researchers and students will find these books valuable to their career development. All ten volumes are extensively self-referenced. The reader can enter the collection at any point or topic of interest and then work backward to identify and fill in needed details. This approach also works for a course or self-study on a given volume with earlier books used for reference. Advanced quantitative finance books typically develop materials with an eye to comprehensiveness in the given subject matter yet not with an eye toward efficiently curating and developing the theories needed for applications in quantitative finance. This book and series of volumes fill this need. | Foundations of Quantitative Finance Book I: Measure Spaces and Measurable Functions

AI in and for Africa A Humanistic Perspective

AI in and for Africa A Humanistic Perspective

AI in and for Africa: A Humanistic Perspective explores the convoluted intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) with Africa’s unique socio-economic realities. This book is the first of its kind to provide a comprehensive overview of how AI is currently being deployed on the African continent. Given the existence of significant disparities in Africa related to gender race labour and power the book argues that the continent requires different AI solutions to its problems ones that are not founded on technological determinism or exclusively on the adoption of Eurocentric or Western-centric worldviews. It embraces a decolonial approach to exploring and addressing issues such as AI’s diversity crisis the absence of ethical policies around AI that are tailor-made for Africa the ever-widening digital divide and the ongoing practice of dismissing African knowledge systems in the contexts of AI research and education. Although the book suggests a number of humanistic strategies with the goal of ensuring that Africa does not appropriate AI in a manner that is skewed in favour of a privileged few it does not support the notion that the continent should simply opt for a one-size-fits-all solution either. Rather in light of Africa’s rich diversity the book embraces the need for plurality within different regions’ AI ecosystems. The book advocates that Africa-inclusive AI policies incorporate a relational ethics of care which explicitly addresses how Africa’s unique landscape is entwined in an AI ecosystem. The book also works to provide actionable AI tenets that can be incorporated into policy documents that suit Africa’s needs. This book will be of great interest to researchers students and readers who wish to critically appraise the different facets of AI in the context of Africa across many areas that run the gamut from education gender studies and linguistics to agriculture data science and economics. This book is of special appeal to scholars in disciplines including anthropology computer science philosophy and sociology to name a few. | AI in and for Africa A Humanistic Perspective
